1,4-Dioxin (also referred as dioxin or p-dioxin) is a heterocyclic, organic, non-aromatic [2] compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 4 O 2.There is an isomeric form of 1,4-dioxin, 1,2-dioxin (or o-dioxin). 1,2-Dioxin is very unstable due to its peroxide-like characteristics.
An antiaromatic compound may demonstrate its antiaromaticity both kinetically and thermodynamically. As will be discussed later, antiaromatic compounds experience exceptionally high chemical reactivity (being highly reactive is not “indicative” of an antiaromatic compound, it merely suggests that the compound could be antiaromatic).
Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds , or unsaturated, with double bonds or triple bonds . If other elements ( heteroatoms ) are bound to the carbon chain , the most common being oxygen , nitrogen , sulfur , and chlorine , it is no longer a hydrocarbon, and therefore no longer an aliphatic compound.
They found that closed-shell compounds were aromatic when they had 2(n + 1) 2 π-electrons, for instance the buckminsterfullerene species C 60 10+. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] In 2011, Jordi Poater and Miquel Solà expanded the rule to open-shell spherical compounds, finding they were aromatic when they had 2 n 2 + 2 n + 1 π- electrons , with spin S = (n ...
Annulenes may be aromatic (benzene, [6]annulene and [18]annulene), non-aromatic ([8] and [10]annulene), or anti-aromatic (cyclobutadiene, [4]annulene). Cyclobutadiene is the only annulene with considerable antiaromaticity, since planarity is unavoidable.
It is an unstable, non-planar compound which is non-aromatic. [1] [2] The dianion, however, satisfies Hückel's rule, is thermally stable, and is planar. [3] See also
Two different resonance forms of benzene (top) combine to produce an average structure (bottom). In organic chemistry, aromaticity is a chemical property describing the way in which a conjugated ring of unsaturated bonds, lone pairs, or empty orbitals exhibits a stabilization stronger than would be expected by the stabilization of conjugation alone.
The compound is the prototypical antiaromatic hydrocarbon with 4 pi electrons (or π electrons). It is the smallest [n]-annulene ([4]-annulene).Its rectangular structure is the result of a pseudo [3] - (or second order) Jahn–Teller effect, which distorts the molecule and lowers its symmetry, converting the triplet to a singlet ground state.
